Construction
Welcome to the Easterfest 2011 Construction blog.
We will be posting construction updates here at least once a day...
Day 12 - Camping chaos as everyone arrives!
Filed Under: Construction — 21st Apr 2011
Well the day we have been waiting for has finally arrived. This is not so much a construction day but more a trouble shooting... final touches... sheer craziness... welcome everyone to festival type of day.
Day 11 - Big Lighting, Big Top and Big News
Filed Under: Construction — 20th Apr 2011
It's Day 11 - Double One. I'm starting to see double from all that's going on here at Easterfest Construction! Speaking of double, our amazing team of YWAM-ers doubled today. Another two bus-loads of eager volunteers showed up and got right to work. You'd think they'd be feeling blue from all the fence wrapping they've done. But they've got an endless supply of energy!
Day 10 - Going where only artist go!
Filed Under: Construction — 19th Apr 2011
Well it's day 10 of construction! It was a lovely sunny day... despite the rainy weather reports we heard from all around the state. The site once again came alive with activity, preparing for everyone to begin to arrive on Thursday. The most exciting or maybe disappointing news for some is we have sold out of camping passes. Still plenty of 3-day festival passes and single day passes available. Check out alternate accommodation options here.
Day 9 - Stunt practice on Mainstage!
Filed Under: Construction — 18th Apr 2011
Well it’s day nine of setup. It’s a little chilly in my ‘marquee office’ but great to be down here where all the action is taking place. In the background I can hear people cracking together pro-floor in the main entrance so damage to the park is minimised and less dust is stirred up. I personally think it’s these little ‘touches’ that make Easterfest extra special. The flooring in our offices is even proper timber paneling – so we can scoot around on rolly office chairs if we want too!
Day 6 - A trip into Easterfest City
Filed Under: Construction — 15th Apr 2011
Another wonderful day on site today. Beautiful blue skies provided a perfect backdrop for the beginning of mainstage setup. There are truss structures everywhere.... looks like all the blokes are really enjoying playing with real life sized meccano. They even need a crane to hoist everything in position. It's very impressive to watch. Tomorrow we'll talk more about this.
Day 5 - The great wall of Melco
Filed Under: Construction — 14th Apr 2011
So what might you ask... is the great wall of Melco??? You'd better watch today's video blog below to find out! It's one of the newest and most randomest things you'll see on site this year.
